Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture.

For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based yogurt.

Substitute shredded sweetened coconut with unsweetened to reduce sugar.

Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.

Store muffins in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
